Using a Business email to setup a personal account

I have a business subscription and have linked my domain to this account. I also have a personal family account where I share O365 with my family.

 

Recently I set my daughter up with an email address from my domain and wanted to give her access to one of the Family licences on her iPad, however, it's saying because the domain is linked to a business account I can't create a personal account for her.

 

Is there a workaround for this?

    You may consider an alias Email Address: Create an alias for your daughter’s email under a different domain (e.g., a free email service like Outlook.com or Gmail). This way, she can use the alias to set up her personal Microsoft account and access the Family license

      what kidd_Ip you are suggesting is not the correct use case.

      the goal is to have only one email adress.

      the workaroud is not good because all the email will be splitted into the new created mailbox.

       

      but thanks for the suggestion
